FAMELY COCK AND esvnss PAN.

No. 8 10.859. specification of Application filed November 3 To roll II'IMHII/ /'I "may (VIII/150F711.

Be it known that l, PETER Allasnonmr,

ltossville, in the county of Vermilion and State of lllinois, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in a Family (ook and Frying Pan, of which the l'ollowing is a specification. F

My invention is concerned with a novel cooking Utensil designed, primarily, for tamily use. and'whieh can be employed for trying, hakii'ig or roasting.

The novel features ol my invention are embodied in certain constructions whereby the apparatus is capable of certain novel uses and presents certain advantages in its ordinary use.

I will in the bodyof the specification describ the complete apparatus and its uses and tll specifically point out the features of novelty in the claims.

To illustrate my invention, I annex hereto :1 sheet oi" drawings, in which the same reference characters are used to designate identical parts in all of the figures, of i'rhicln Figure -l is a perspective View of the appsratus with the cover opened and in position to receive the draining-tray in the manner to be described. Fig. 2 is a. vertical section on the line A A of Fig. 1, but with the cover shown as closed in its full-line position. Fi I; is a similar View in section on the line B of Fig. l, and Fig. 4 is a perspective View of one of the stops for holding the cover in its open inclined position.

The pen proper, 10, may be of? any desired shape and construction l or some purposes of my invention; but with the specific term of. the cover illustrated the rectangular form shown adapts itselt most readily to carrying out the invention. it is preferably provided with the handles II, by which it can be lifted and transported. Where it is to be used for trying and roasting, some form of a drip-tray or screen 12 is preferably employed, and I have shown as a conventimnii lorm one provided with the framework covered by the screen and having the bails or handles 13 at its ends, by which it can be lifted, withits contents, out of the pan. '(lt course it will he understood that i do not limit myself to the employment of any particular form, style,or shape of tray.-

'l he essential novel features of my invention are concerned with the cover M, which will be of the proper shape to cooperate with Patented Jan. 23., Tit-$6.

The cover is hinged to the pan at one side by the hinges ie, which are preferl ably removable in order that the cover may be quieliiy removed from the Jii-it to fsciiitots its cleaning or in case it is to ...e used without the cover. Theseremovable hinges might he of any desired construction, but I prefer-- ably i'orm them of strong steel listing; the elongated clip-like arms 1?, which are adspted to be forced over'tli'erim of the pa n at the proper side. and embrace the side of the pan snugly and with suliicient iorce to hoiii the cover in place. under ordinary usage. In order that the hinges mayiit over the prefer ably wired rim of the pan. they are provided with the loop ortions 18. the cover, pre'erably j ust over the leaves 19 of the hinges 16.,secure'd to'tlie cover-,1 secure the stop-pieces it); which are of the. shape shown in detail in Fig. and which are adapted to have the under side of the extensions 21 as shown in full lines in 1 and as inclicated in dotted lines in l" 2. These stoppieces 20 serve to hold the cover in the inclineei position, (shown in Fig. 1,) and the ob j ect of employing them and holding the cover in this'inelined position is so that after a. batch of cakes or any similar articles are. tried handles .3 and set on the eover M as it is While cakes are draining in ti'US position another trav mavbe inserted, and when the pan is re 1 ehargedthe batch gust cooked w ll be. rimmed suthciently to be set aside. In order that the (ii-innings may run back into the pen, I provide the extension :22 on the acigacszit edge oi the cover, which extension GXiifillifl over the ed go of and into the pan, Emit in order that the drannng s may run over this 8X- tenston. and consequently run. into the pan, 1 provide the break or recess .23 in the hangs .50)-i"1i()' .i.. t: .totui 1' t e int ttne gusting if to i r mags lowermost side oi the flar s i5.

- pable of si on 22, I provide in the side of the pan the shallow spoutor lip 24, which not only serves its function of permitting the cover to be turned down without interference from the extension 22, but which when the cover is removed and the contents of the pan are to be emptied serves as a spout in pouring out its contents.

While I haverdescribed the novel features of my apparatus as used in connection with frying and draining off the grease used in the process, it will be understood that it is capablefor use in baking and roasting.

It will be apparent that by employing the pan with the cover, as shown, having the flange tending to seal the cover in the pan it is less dangerous to handle, as if its contents are agitated carelessly or by an accident there is very little danger of their splashing out and burnin the user. 1

W his I have shown and described my invention as embodied in the form in which 1 at present consider best adapted to carry out its purposes, it will be understood that it is caodifications and that I do not dosire to be limited in the interpretation of the following claims except as may be necessi tated by the state of the prior art.

What I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent of the United States, is-.

1. In a device of the class described, the combination with the pan, of the cover therefor, hinged thereto, and adapted to be turned back to support a dripping-tray, means for holding the dripping-tray in position on the turned-back cover, and means for permitting emsse the drippings to flow back from the cover into the pan.

2. In a device of the class described, the combination with the pan, of the cover therefor hinged thereto, means for holding the cover open and in an inclined position relative to the pan and in position to receive a dripping-tray, means for holding the dripping-tray thereon, and means for permitting the drippings to flow from the cover over the edge of and into the pan.

3. In a device of the class described, the combination with a pan, of the cover therefor hinged thereto and provided with. the interior flange, and means for holding the cover open and in an inclined position, said flange being provided with an opening adapted to allow the drippings to low from the cover over the edge of and into the pan.
